Wehkamp is a Dutch catalogue, from which you can buy clothes, washing machines, tents... among other things. Your ordinary catalogue, nothing special. Until last year: I don't know who they hired, but their campaigns became a joy to look at!

At the moment on Pinterest, the brand Wunway is becoming a big hype. The clothes are styled in such a cool way (a wunway?)... a shame it's only for girls. I selected the sets I think are (sort of) wearable for boys too.

As an end-of-year present my work always gives book coupons. Not bad! This year it was time for a new batch of kids' books. Here is what I bought:

* Het knuffeldekentje van klein konijn: Had to get this one. It's about a small bunny and his blanket, which he takes everywhere. Lo and behold (just learned this phrase from Kevin Clash, a.k.a. Elmo ;) his mother washes the blanket! Reminds me of my youngest and his blanket.
* Otis: Both my boys are crazy about tractors, so when I saw this book about a cute little tractor and his calf friend, I knew it would be an instant success.
* Franse kinderen gooien niet met eten: What an eye opener! It's written by Pamela Druckerman, an American mother living in Paris who writes about the differences between bringing up kids in the US and in France. To my opinion, Dutch culture was comparable to the French culture some years ago (I guess I was brought up the French way), but is shifting more towards the US culture. It definitely got me thinking about my own ways.
* Het grote Grimmboek: 16 Grimm tales illustrated by contemporary Dutch children's book illustrators. Beautiful!

Baby GAP launched a limited edition collection with a Peter Rabbit theme. For the most part it's not particularly interesting, but I do like the idea of the rompers here below. So simple, yet practical. I've only seen it before with shirts or polo's, but never this way. Good thinking!

In 2012 I started this blog in an attempt to find nice clothing for my two little boys. Two years later - plus lots of inspirational blog posts and a third baby boy - my kids clothing label Finch + Agnes launches. This blog will remain a place where I post all things fun, beautiful, inspiring.
